At the Goldschmidt house, in the Nor
ton gardens. Bolton, 5. W.. there are a
number of portraits of the great canta-
trice, and though none of them give the
impression 81 beauty, one can scarcely
realize that they once looked like this
curious little old lady. She is the plnnest,
most old fashioned little body imaginable,
dressing in the style of thirty-tive years
ago, with a plain skirt gathered into a
tight fitting bodice, and not a loop or bit
of trimming of any kind Over her
shoulder is little cape, folded like a
Quaker. She wears her hair smoothed
down over her ears under big white
cap. Jenny Lind's husband, Otto Gold
schmidt though he is quite bald, is fifteen
wears younger than his wife. The story
of their marriage is a romantic one and
little known. During her travels through
America Sir Julius Benedict, her accom-
PIANIST, was obliged suddenly to return to
England, and then she remembered a
poor Young German musician she had met
the wear before and sent for him at once
to supply Sir julius place.
1t was not long before the young musi-
clan was violently in love with the prima
donna, but, being poor and unknown and
SO much her Junior. he had no hope of
any success. Finally lie became so un-
happy he resigned his place, and being
pressed by the cantatrice to tell the reason
for such step, he confessed his hopeless
love, and was astonished and delighted
when she fell into his arms and declared
she had loved him from the first. They
have been extremely happy together, and
now people scarcely guess that she is the
older of the two.-New York World.

Democracy Exemplified.

Among the Independent democrats of
New York are two men who distinguished
themselves in the prosecution of the
''boodlers" who are now in prison for the
corruption of city officials and selling
their positions for plumber. These two
men were taken on this account by
independent democrats, as candidates for
two of the most important places on the
ticket to DE voted for next Tuesday-the
offices of District Attorney and Judge of
the Court of General Sessions. One il
Delaney Nicoll, the other Randolph b.
MARITIME. After these men were nominated
by an independent movement because of
the conspicuous ability and fathfuness
in the work of furnishing the "boodlers"
and cleansing the city of corruption,
them likewise for their good deeds as re-
formers and to promote honest govern
mcnt. But the democrats refused to do
this thing Both men were rejected. To
make matters still worse they nominated
one Colonel Fellows" for District Attor-
uey, whose chief distinction appears to be
that he does not pay his debts, was rebel
soldier and is now an active democrat.
The republicans, however, considering
the excellent service which Nicoll aud
MARITIME had done in Kidding the city Of
the nest of corruptionists seated in high
places, adopted both men as their candi-
Il bnt Ia
election. They have done this to promote
the public good, to save the city from rob
berry and disgrace by corruptionists and to
promote honesty and reform.
In this case We have a practical exempli-
fication of the true inwardness" Of the
democracy. They have refused to honor
the men who have distinguished them
selves by good works, and taken to their
public attention except that he fought two
years to destroy the Union and spent some
time rs a prisoner of war at the expense
of the United States government. The
Tribune we'll says upon this matter:

fond of asking. If it is. why are democrats

flags captured by the Union in battle, and

His Opinion of Home Rule, and His
Estimate of Gladstone.

4 representative of the New York World

in company with many Americans, and gained
an interview. a portion of which follows;
Mr. Blaine talks freely to all callers except
the professional interviewer, whom he has
sedulously avoided since his arrival. He
chatted at leisure and easily about a variety
of public issues, and touched on the Irish
question apparently without the slightest re-
serve. endeavored to keep him on that
question as long as | could. in order that

What Am I To Do2

The symptoms of Bilousness are unhappi-
~ but too well known. They differ in
different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of order
and DarrhGa or Constipation may be a symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are
often llemorrholds or even loss of blood
There may be giddiness and often headache
acdity or fiatulence and tenderness in the pit
of the stomach. To correct all this if not
effect a cure try Green's August Flower, it
costs but a tritle and thousands attest its eff
cacy

Democratic Methods in New York


The Democratic State Committee is headed
by n man whose methods of political work in
Troy have become noted all over the State as
the worst and most debasing known to modern
politics. The committee has levied contribu-
tons right and left on Federal and State Off
cials, candidates, wealthy and ambitious mem
bers of the party, and organizations inimical
to the public welfare, whose ends would be
served by democratic successes. From these
sources a campaign fund has accumulated
which is said by democrats themselves to be
over s20o.0oo, and which they declare will
reach quarter of a million before the close
of this week. With this quarter of million
dollars they will endeavor to buy up the

1t is not often that farmers aud farmers
wives, or people generally who keep hens,
have an opportunity to make from ten to
fifty dollars in eight weeks time, besides in

from two to five hundred per cent. But like

now is the time.

Ten dollars for the fourth best result.
